My Card Beast Taming Game

For example, a famous historical figure once had more than a hundred wives, but he was so cruel that he was murdered by his more than a hundred wives.

A group of ordinary people killing a mid-level card master? That's pretty audacious!

For example, a certain patriarch of the Wanfa Sect once had two confidantes who fought fiercely over him. In the end, they were subdued by the patriarch of the Wanfa Sect, thus achieving the goal of three lovers flying together.

For example, in the neighboring Magic City Academy, an old ancestor fell in love with his spirit beast and developed many kinds of spiritual medicine in order to have a son.

That's why the study of elixirs at the Shanghai Academy is so advanced today.

Laughter occasionally broke the silence in the classroom.

Teenagers only like to hear these things, whether they're true or false, as long as they're interesting.

Chapter 167: The Bottom-Ranked Powerhouse

The course went by very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the two classes were over.

Zhou Chen's next class is the elective "Secret Realm Materials Science," and he won't be in the same classroom as Lu Qingning and Xing Keji.

Kaori Utsunomiya and Mei were with him.

Han Baobao grabbed her best friend's hand earnestly: "Xiaomei! You have to keep an eye on Zhou Chen for Ningning! Don't let him be taken away!"

"Shut up! If you pull again, I'll bite you!"

Lu Qingning was teased so much that she felt a little embarrassed and annoyed.

Mei Xian looked at the two of them and nodded earnestly, saying, "I will!"

Lu Qingning looked at her in disbelief, "Xiaomei, you—"

"whee."

Mei Xian rarely showed a mischievous smile, and ran away like a gust of wind, not giving Lu Qingning a chance to catch her.

However, she also had her own considerations.

Regardless of whether Lu Qingning and Zhou Chen talk or not, they are all part of their little team, and they really can't let Zhou Chen be kidnapped.

In the corridor outside the classroom, she quickly found Zhou Chen talking to a Chow Chow, with Kaori Utsunomiya standing not far away beside him.

The other person noticed her too and raised their hand to greet her, "Sister Mei! We've been waiting for you!"

"Hello, Mei, I am Kaori Utsunomiya."

Kaori Utsunomiya bowed politely.

Mei Xian was slightly surprised to hear the name, and nodded in greeting, "Hello, Yu... Du Gong classmate."

The three didn't chat for long. The teaching building for the Secret Realm Materials Science course was quite far from here; it would take more than ten minutes to walk there.

They only had half an hour to travel.

The teaching building was noisy, not only with first-year students but also with upperclassmen. Fortunately, the Shen Du Academy was specially widened and lengthened during its construction, making the indoor passageways less crowded.

Led by the Chow Chow, the three of them took shortcuts and soon arrived at the classroom for the Secret Realm Materials Science.

It wasn't a lecture hall, but a spacious area as large as an indoor basketball court.

On dozens of neatly arranged tables, there were many processed monster materials, which were probably teaching tools.

The first lesson skips theory and jumps straight into practice?

Zhou Chen looked at the two people beside him and asked for their opinions: "Where would you like to sit? There is a table here that can seat five people."

Both Mei Xian and Kaori Utsunomiya said it was up to him to choose.

So the three of them sat down in the middle of the second row.

The Chow Chow with a single horn said, "This lesson will probably be taught by Zhang Zhicheng's master."

Zhou Chen looked at him, "Master?"

"The card master you know, that big black bull, is the vice dean of the Secret Realm Academy. His surname is Shang, and his name is Shang Zun."

The Chow Chow made a mooing sound. "This old man really enjoys teaching freshmen. You can probably see him in any class related to the secret realm during the first semester of the first year."

as predicted.

As students gradually entered the large classroom, a large black ox chewing on emerald green roots appeared in a grand manner, its four hooves clattering as it entered, carrying a dozing old man riding backwards on its back.

"arrive?"

The dozing old man opened his eyes as if startled awake.

He spotted Zhou Chen sitting in the middle of the second row at a glance and said with a smile, "We meet again, Zhou Chen."

"Moo~"

The big black ox chewed and mooed.

"Hello, Dean Shang," Zhou Chen greeted him quickly.

The old man chuckled and said, "Remember to listen carefully in class; we all have high expectations for you."

Expectations are high?

Zhou Chen inexplicably felt pressure from those words. Was it an expectation that he could help Elder Bai advance to the King level?

He wouldn't mind lending a hand, but there's nothing he can do to help.

I don't have any Bai Ze Tu in my pocket.

Zhou Chen pondered for a moment, then quickly immersed herself in the lesson once it began.

In his first lesson, Shang Zun again chose to teach interesting content, such as the various materials displayed on the table—

"Students, what you see before you are the raw materials for manufacturing strategic material space packages."

The space pack is made primarily from the skin of the Sky-Eating Worm and the Gluttonous Frog.

These two monsters are classified as rare Space-type monsters, capable of consuming creatures far exceeding their size without changing their appearance. Card players have combined them with other materials to create Space Packs.

The initial capacity of the space pack was only three times its external size, but it has become larger and larger through repeated improvements.

Just like the array disk.

Shang Zun chuckled and said, "Regarding the making of the space bag, you will have the opportunity to make one yourself when you sign up for the 'Materials Applications' course in your fourth year."

Many things that outsiders cannot possess, such as gold cards and space packs, are not restricted to students of the three academies.

Therefore, the students were inevitably excited upon hearing this.

Zhou Chen also wanted to make one for himself. Although he had two space bags given to him by Du Mu Bai Gao, those were for storing books and materials.

-

Around noon.

Zhou Chen didn't eat with Lu Qingning and the others, but instead got into the Tianma carriage.

He needed to rush back to learn about array formations.

When it comes to meals, Duomu Baigao will call him to Baize Palace, where he might eat some smoked venison or dried mutton.

—The day before yesterday, having nothing to do at noon, he smoked all the meat he took out from the dungeon with fruitwood for a day and a night.

I must say, it tastes really good, even better than some meat you can buy on the market. When you eat it with all sorts of strange-tasting spiritual materials, you don't feel as miserable as you did when you first put it in your mouth.

Enjoy it from beginning to end.

He can now eat his fill of various supplements every day, but the taste of some spiritual materials is so bad that he often feels that being a card master is very miserable, so he needs to eat something delicious to ease his mood.

Inside the Bai Ze Palace.

Bai Gao waited for a long time, but the old man was still meditating in front of the statue.

Just as Zhou Chen was about to greet them, Bai Gao spoke in Bai Lao's voice, "How was your first day of school?"

"Good."

Zhou Chen nodded. It wasn't much different from when he went to university before, except that he was learning different things.

Du Mu Bai Gao chuckled and said, "That's good. In the past, many students couldn't adapt to the new environment when they first enrolled, which often resulted in them being late."

Without much conversation, he continued to study Bai Lao's notes, asking questions whenever he encountered content or text he didn't understand.

This continued until 2 PM, when it was time to go to class again.

"So busy, so busy."

A Chow Chow with a unicorn horn complains about accompanying his child to school.

Its exercise level these days has caught up with that of the past year, but it has also stimulated its latent active genes.

How could Dharma King Ni willingly become a fat dog? It's just that Dharma Master Fatian is too lazy.

The compulsory course in the afternoon is called "The Art of Competitive Combat".

Zhou Chen saw Su Xuanzhen and Qin Yulan, whom he hadn't seen that morning, but didn't spot any of his other friends.

The three were quite familiar with each other, so they were naturally assigned to the same group.

The core of the competitive combat science course is how to fight against card masters, and it mentions the most popular global competition at the Card Master Academy.

Youth Championship.

"The National Youth Championship is divided into three types: individual competition, team competition, and group team competition," explained Cheng He, a teacher from the School of Sports.

Individual competitions are knockout tournaments where players rely on their own strength to defeat their opponents and reach the top.

Team competitions involve forming five-person teams with other school team members, taking turns to compete against members of other teams in individual battles, and finally determining the overall score.

Team competition, which is a five-on-five match.

Among the three major academies of Zhuxia, Tiandu Academy is a frequent winner in both individual and team competitions in the Zhuxia region, while Modu Academy is the top team in team competitions.

Shen Du Yuan Academy has won these kinds of competitions very few times over the years.

Therefore, outsiders often refer to Shendu Academy as a "bottom-tier powerhouse" that can only bully second-tier universities in local areas.

Chapter 168: Silly Fish Ah Kun (31/117)

"Interested in trying to get a spot in the team competition?"

Su Xuanzhen suddenly spoke.

Zhou Chen turned his head, "Team competition spots?"

He laughed and said, "That's right, my one-on-one combat skills aren't great, but my command abilities are decent. You were able to defeat a heavily injured Gold-ranked opponent in a one-on-one fight, so your strength must be quite good. We can team up."

The Chow Chow agreed, "For first-year students, participating in team competitions is a great option, as it offers a higher margin for error."

In a five-person team, teammates can help fill in the gaps when problems arise, unlike individual competitions and team competitions where one mistake can lead to complete defeat.

One of the conditions the Sports Academy offered to Su Xuanzhen, who came in second, was that he would be allowed to join the school team as a substitute in the first semester of his freshman year to compete for a starting spot.

"As long as I can make the starting lineup, with our abilities, we can choose others instead of being chosen by others."

Su Xuanzhen was very confident and said with a smile, "Even if we don't achieve good results this year, we will definitely have a chance next year."

Zhou Chen turned his head back. "We'll see."

He suddenly realized that Lu Qingning had been having them practice teamwork, most likely because she had ideas about forming a team competition.

But this meant he couldn't easily make promises to Su Xuanzhen.

Su Xuanzhen maintained his smile, "I'll think about it. It's much easier to compete for a spot in the team competition than in the individual competition."

Zhou Chen remained silent.

He suddenly thought of something.

The conditions that the parrot coach from the sports academy had previously offered him included direct entry into the school team's regular selection in the second half of the year, as well as a so-called "flexible" spot that he could obtain regardless of his performance.

what about now?

The sports academy probably won't give it to them; giving a thousand credits as a welcome gift is already quite generous.

He wasn't sure, so he turned to ask about the condition of the one-horned Chow Chow.

"You're already a substitute. Once the school team selects the new batch of substitutes, they'll give you all the team uniforms. As for the starting lineup..."
